4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 slices (1/2-inch/1 cm) day old sourdough, French or Italian bread
- 8 slices medium Ontario Cheddar Cheese
- 2 Ontario McIntosh or Empire Apples, thinly sliced
- 3 Ontario Eggs
- 3/4 cup (175 mL) Ontario Milk
- 2 tbsp (25 mL) granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) vanilla
- 2 tbsp (25 mL) butter
- Ontario Maple Syrup
Instructions
Place 4 slices of the bread on work surface and top each with 1 slice of cheese. Place even layer of apples on cheese, then top with second cheese slice. Cover with remaining slices of bread to make 4 sandwiches.
In medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Pour into shallow dish large enough to hold 1 sandwich.
In large nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
Dip sandwich into egg mixture, turning to soak (don’t over soak). Add 2 sandwiches to skillet at a time and cook until golden brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Cut in half and serve with Ontario Maple Syrup.
Tip: One or two day-old stale bread is ideal for French toast as fresh bread absorbs too much liquid, making it soggy.
